Abstract: | A one-dimensional ZrO2/SiO2 photonic crystal with a 4-n -pentyl-4' -cyanobiphenyl (5CB) nematic defect layer was used to investigate the transmission spectra of light polarized
parallel and perpendicular to the liquid-crystal director at different angles of incidence. The spectra of the photonic crystal
were shown to split into four polarized components Tij at oblique incidence. When the incident angle increased, the bandgap edges and the defect modes shifted towards short wavelengths,
while the amplitudes of the defect modes increased for the transverse magnetic polarization and decreased for the transverse
electric polarization. The observed discrepancy between the defect mode amplitudes in the center and near the edges of the
photonic bandgap was found to be related to the radiation losses inside the defect layer of a non-ideal photonic crystal.
The simulated transmission spectra obtained using recurrence relations and taking into account the decay of defect modes are
in good agreement with the experimental data. |
